This pair should make an essential tool for those who want more convenience. The rubber mallet seems convincing, but the finishing touch is a deathblow. They are great for removing discs and attaching clips to brake hoses. In other words, these two are superior to the mechanical slide hammer. They can't be beat for the price either. They're also pretty good to hold, but the grip could be a bit thicker. You can't land a good hit because you feel the vibration too much. However, this isn't a big problem if you don't use them all day. I have high hopes for the hammer, let's hope I'm not disappointed.
